The daily practice of supporting women survivors of domestic violence (DV) & their children in Greece, presents lack of coordination & networking of competent bodies, lack of a common protocol for handling the incidents, deficiencies in professionals\u2019 training etc. For combating DV many systems are involved, which act sequentially, without interconnection & activated only after survivors\u2019 specific actions. This systems\u2019 chain activation negatively affects the response time & quality of the protection\/support survivors receive; also leads to great under-reporting of DV because survivors are reluctant to resort to Authorities; but even when they do resort, protection is not guaranteed because if the process fails at a critical or early point of the chain, the entire protection scheme collapses.<\/p>\n
The project\u2019s objective is to build a multi-agency substantial partnership between police, justice & support services with the aim to strengthen the support & protection of women & children suffering DV in Greece, in accordance with the standards of the Istanbul Convention & through building on good practices, tools, experience & know-how of the Icelandic Police & other competent authorities & NGOs of Iceland.<\/p>\n
